Vista woes
 
Oh for heaven's sake! Vista...am I on Mars?

Please help me not look totally stupid

I'm back home and I say to my mate, I'll help you with your new computer. I can't even find the file management system. Cringe cringe

What's it called, and where the :mad::mad: do they put it?

We've been mates since childhood...don't want to f:mad:k up his new machine, so will carry on when sober.

just making inroads into Blister...uphill struggle.

A mouse that sends multiple click with one press wasn't helping either.:uhoh:

'Windows Button' and 'E'

If you think finding things on Vista is tricky wait until you look round Office 2007 - everything has moved, been renamed, reconfigured or simply evaporated !

. . and the Word and Excel files are unreadable by previous versions unless they have a switched on IT eng who has downloaded and installed the fix.
SO, if one has been sending, e.g., CVs and getting no reply that could be the reason :confused:
Mine is now configured to default to .doc & .xls instead of .docx & .xlsx even though the old files are larger than the new standard.
